Only players whose rating had reliability in category C or better are included.
A number of good players would have been eligible for this list except for the minimum reliability requirement.
Amongst those who might particularly benefit when more results become available are Charles Watson, David Brown, Mark Robins
and (I suspect) Mick Sellman & Craig McGarty.
In total only 74 players met the reliability criterion and were eligible for this list. The list will be lengthened to 50
as more players become eligible. Doing so at present would probably be misleading.
Hopefully both of these shortcomings will be rectified over the next year or so.
